EP 15 - How Healing from Lyme Disease Gave Me My Purpose

Summary: Chef Ariane Resnick joins Dr. Bond to share her personal health struggles, how she overcame them, and how she appreciates the journey because it brought her to where she is -- and who she is -- today.

She has cooked for celebrities that include P!nk, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin, World Cup winner Vincent Kompany, The Game author Neil Strauss, and Full House/Fuller House creator/producer Jeff Franklin.

Ariane has been featured in media such as Cosmopolitan, CBS’ The Doctors, ABC News, Forbes, Shape, Star, Huffington Post, Refinery 29, Men’s Fitness, and Food Network’s Chopped. Ariane writes wellness, nutrition, and recipe articles for sites such as Livestrong and Beachbody.

She is also a survivor of late stage Lyme Disease and chemical poisoning, and recovered holistically from both.

When not crafting dishes to accommodate just about any dietary restriction, Resnick consults clients and chefs on wellness, nutrition, and provides hands-on instruction for simple ways to cook more healthfully. Her first book, The Bone Broth Miracle, was released in May, 2015, and is an Amazon #1 best seller. Her second book, The Thinking Girl’s Guide to Drinking, was released November 1, 2016 by Regan Arts, and is also an Amazon #1 best seller.

Ariane Resnick contracted Lyme disease without even knowing it, an increasingly common instance among the population.

Whereas acute Lyme is generally easy to treat (and cure), late-stage Lyme is typically difficult to diagnose, and symptoms are often attributed to other conditions or as psychosomatic.

Through a series of holistic practices, Ariane was able to heal herself.

She also suffered from chemical poisoning (at a different time in her life), but also used natural healing methods to overcome the poisoning.

After battling these health obstacles, Ariane utilized the lessons she learned to become a special diet chef and certified nutritionist. She develops accessible, organic farm-to-table recipes and creates indulgent, seemingly “normal” food out of impeccably clean, whole food ingredients.

Listen as Ariane joins Dr. Bond to share her personal health struggles, how she overcame them, and how she appreciates the journey because it brought her to where she is -- and who she is -- today.
